Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

  • When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
  • It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
  • Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
  • This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
  • Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

Which of the following is not an example of a physical property?
iVinArrow [24]
Of the options presented in this problem, the answer would be C. reactivity.

Physical property is commonly known to be a s observable property of matters. This means, as the name suggests, that the physical property can be observed without the use of special instrument and other things to observe. Another thing is that it can be measured and put on a value and a standard unit of measurement. The physical property helps a lot in differentiating matter to matter and also aids in determining their uses and hazards as well. The boiling point and freezing point go hand in hand as to they are opposite to each other and are observed by the application of heat and the application of cold environment, respectively. As for density, it can be observed with the object being in contact with an adequate amount of water, if it will sink, float, or stay in the middle.

While the ball is <span>whirling overhead it is moving in a circle. It has circular velocity. More often used term is angular velocity. This comes from the fact that ball travels some angle during some time.

When it is let go ball travels in a straight line. It has linear velocity. Word "linear" means "straight".</span>

enyata [817]

Answer:

This causes higher average tidal ranges. The gravitational pull of the Sun and moon on Earth combined cause high tides that will be higher and low tides that will be lower than average.
